 Breeding ASF?

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to breed them. Can I start w/ male & female in a 20L? How do you breed them?

Buy a 1.2 or 1.3 group

Keep them together at all time never separate the male from the female

Gestation is 21-23 days, babies can be weaned at 3 to 4 weeks!

Do not introduce other ASF to your 1.2 group.

Breeding is basically like any other rodent breeding, make sure you provide them with healthy food (no junk from the pet store), feed lab block such as mazuri or harlan (16% to 18% protein), they also love bird seeds and millet.

They are known for chewing so I would recommend a glass water bottle if you place it in a tank!

I don’t use a tank so I have no idea I use a rack using tubs that are 22 1/4 in. long x 16 3/4 in. wide x 6 3/4 in. high if that gives you an idea!

I have 1.3 group in those tubs!

You can do a 1.2 or 1.3 in a 10 gallon tank, so your 20 would be fine - you could probably even do 1.4 in a 20 gallon. Keep them together at all times, or they won’t re-introduce to each other well. Just keep any daughters that you promote in the same enclosure.

They’ll do their own thing. I feed Mazuri lab block, some cockateel bird seed mixture, millet and timothy hay.

Give them wheels to run on as well... cuts down the chewing substantially.
